Musical theater is a dynamic, collaborative art form, which
encompasses music, theater, dance, and the visual arts.
Traditionally associated with adult performers, musicals also have
roles designated specifically for children. How then does
involvement in musical theater support children's learning through
the performing arts? What do children value from their musical
theater experiences and how do these experiences influence
children's personal, social, and artistic lives? Based on a decade
of research, this book explores these questions through children's
participation as singers, actors, and dancers, in school-based,
community, and professional musical theater. By valuing children's
voices as important in understanding experience, Rajan constructs a
framework of musical theater participation, and applies broader
educational implications to highlight the unique characteristics of
musical theater in children's lives.
